Southern-Fried Drumsticks

The quintessential Southern dish, these drumsticks are guaranteed to be juicy thanks to the rich buttermilk marinade. Tossed in flour and a mix of spices, the chicken is then fried to golden deliciousness.

Reduce heat to medium-low. Partially cover and cook, turning drumsticks occasionally, 18 to 22 minutes or until meat is tender and opaque near bone when tested with a sharp knife.

Remove chicken to paper towels to drain. Serve right away. For the most tender, flavorful chicken, soak the pieces in buttermilk for a minimum of two hours and season them with plenty of salt and pepper. For a real southern-style meal, serve these with potatoes, black-eyed peas and biscuits.
